Police Chief Update

Save the King George!‏ by Dr. Dean Ziegler

Hi,

Proposed demolition of a hotel built and maintained since the 1770's. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but not protected. Owner wants to convert land into hotel, bank; close to shopping malls and Dorney Park.

That's why I created a petition to The Pennsylvania State House, The Pennsylvania State Senate, Governor Tom Corbett, The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Barack Obama, which says:

"This petition states to conserve the structural integrity and prohibit the proposed demolition of the King George Inn, a nationally registered historic landmark, located in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania."

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Heroic Statements


"Cleveland-born boxer and 2012 USA Olympian Terrell Gausha says that 

because of George Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict, he will no longer represent 

the United State’s flag, according to TMZ.



In an interview with TMZ, Terrell quotes the popular statement that has been 

lately surfacing the internet: “How can I wear my stars and stripes proudly in a 

country where they make a big deal out of Mike Vick fighting dogs; but not a 

young innocent Black male’s life.”



Twenty-five-year-old Gausha added that the Zimmerman verdict has forever 

changed the way he sees this country. “When I represented my country in the 

Olympics, I was proud to wear my flag. I even wore it on my head on the way 

to the ring. What happened this weekend was a slap in the face.” Gausha is not 

eligible for the 2016 Olympic team because of his pro sport status, but he made 

it very clear that he wasn’t interested in representing a “nation with so much 

racism and hatred.”
